August 5, 20196 yr waking up feeling like you've already gotten a solid amount of sleep, then rolling over and realizing you've got another 4 or 5 hours to go (and getting right back to sleep)
August 8, 20196 yr Not trivial, but hell, I have to drop it somewhere: our closing date got moved up 4 days; Monday morning, I can leave the armpit of the universe forever. Super-Kroger Tackle Box will no longer be on my horizon. Free at last, free at last, praise God Almighty, I'm free at last!

I know that you will enjoy the change of scenery, and definitely the increase in the IQ of your neighbors. Living just outside Navasota, I am in College Station a lot for groceries, hardware, etc. Since I joined Shaggy, every time I see a man in UT gear in CS I try to guess whether that man is you. I'll have to find another guessing game now.

I remember all the obnoxious aggy I used to meet when I lived in Austin, and I swore when I moved here I wouldn't be like that, so I rarely wear Texas gear out and about. That will probably change now that I will be living where nobody cares.

August 15, 20196 yr First day of school. I work from the office in my home and it is nice today with no kids in the house.
August 21, 20196 yr when you have some dipshit on ignore and the first response after one of your posts is that person

August 21, 20196 yr Learning that there's a Texadelphia in Galveston after having a house there for 7 years.Just ate at the one in Vintage Park yesterday. It was glorious!
August 26, 20196 yr I have a buddy who is part owner of waterski America in Dallas, malibu boats dealer. Sold his part out and moving to Cabo and buy a charter boat to fish in. Got dayum I want to be that brave and do that.

August 27, 20196 yr There were mushrooms, but I do not like onion or green peppers in my cheese steak. I don't like green peppers (bell) at all. They give me horrible indigestion. I taste green peppers every time I burp for 3 days after eating them. Also not pictured was a big bowl of the mustard blend because those two little containers of the sauce was barely enough for half of my sandwich let alone the fries.
September 15, 20196 yr Got a new 4-door pickup a week ago. Still figuring out what the different bells & whistles do. I get home from the store today and the dash light comes on with a beeper sounding, "Check back seat for child." LOLz, that ain't a kid, that's beer and wine. Thank you, buzzer for idiots.
September 21, 20196 yr College football Saturday, a cold pack of beer and the surly football forum. What a time to be alive.

October 8, 20196 yr My son plays in a fantasy football league with some guys on his cross country team and he kept asking me for advice. I kept telling him that I only follow college football, but he kept asking me. So Sunday after church I finally give in and ask him what advice he needed. He said he had Watson and Rogers as QBs and couldn’t decide who to play. I told him Rogers was good and the Cowboys suck so he should play Rogers. I know I shouldn’t laugh, but I don’t think he will be asking for fantasy football advice any more.
October 8, 20196 yr Really good garlic bread; went to this seafood joint in Beaufort, NC, last weekend, and the meal overall was nothing really special, but I didn't mind because the view was nice, and the bread before the meal was exceptional. It's amazing, in retrospect, how many culinary sins that can absolve.

October 8, 20196 yr Chipmunks. I mean, seeing squirrels is so old hat, it's boring even if you like them. But I saw an actual chipmunk on my walk this morning, and it just about blew my mind. Then I looked up the distribution map for the Eastern Chipmunk, and it was like, "Oh. I haven't hung out where they are very much before now."
October 8, 20196 yr When I'm sitting at a stoplight and see a gas station sign ahead drop the price from $2.22 to 2.17, I need to fillup, and the credit price is the same as cash. Saved 70 cents today. #winning Edited October 8, 20196 yr by clapclapclap Should be a Geico commercial. Except I'm not fat, don't have a fat family, and pay a kid to mow my lawn.
October 8, 20196 yr The first morning of the fall when I walk out of my home in the Houston area and am not assaulted by the 90+ heat, 90+ humidity. Lord, that was glorious.

Glorious.

October 10, 20196 yr I had to pull some documents this morning, every one of them was in the top drawer of the cabinets. Didn't have to squat down on the floor. Fuck yes.
October 15, 20196 yr Twice a week, there's a little old abuelita who sets up shop out in front of the local panaderia, selling tamales. Today, I walked up and said "Quiero comprar todos." "¿Que?" "Todos. Los. Tamales." That, my friends, is not trivial. But it pleases the fuck out of me.

October 15, 20196 yr When my Uber gps places me slightly away from where I really am, I love being able to easily adjust my spot on the Uber map to fix it.

College Station is one giant cement strip mall, only without the charm of a strip mall. I took the family on a day trip this weekend, though, to a city park in Durham. "West Point on the Eno". City park, mind you, where on the other side of the street is a shopping center. You turn in, though, and the trees shield you from civilization. It's right across the street, but you don't see it. There's a functioning grist mill there, dates from 1778. Old house, nature trails, the works. Birds, snakes, raccoons, the whole nine yards. And when you exit the parking lot, you're back in "the city". Sorta had that feeling in Zilker Park, back in the day, though now you can see the skyline from there, so it's not really "disappeared" in quite the same way, but if you imagine it surrounded by incredibly tall pines, that would be the feeling.
